The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has unveiled 5 new digital identity initiatives to improve service accessibility, secure authentication, and governance during the Aadhaar Samvaad stakeholders conference held in Kolkata, marking the 17th Aadhaar Day.

These initiatives include Face Authentication for the electronic Public Distribution System (ePDS), developed in collaboration with the Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD) and the National Informatics Centre (NIC) as a contactless verification tool.

The newly introduced initiatives also comprise the SWIK Portal 2.0, the Sub-AUA/Sub-KUA (LITE) Framework, and a New Token Management System. Additionally, the revamped website and Career Portal of UIDAI was launched, featuring journey-based navigation powered by BHASHINI for multilingual support.

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has mandated Biometric Aadhaar Authentication (BAA) for domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) consumers, effective from October 1, 2026. The BAA is necessary for booking refills at the regulated Retail Selling Price (RSP) and for receiving the applicable subsidy.

It is to be noted that consumers who do not complete the authentication can still register through the digital platforms of the Oil Marketing Company (OMC) to receive 5 kg or 10 kg cylinders at market prices, without any subsidy.

The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is set to launch a digital platform named ‘E-PRAAPTI’ (EPF Aadhaar-based Access Portal for Tracking Inoperative Accounts). The portal is designed to facilitate the identification, tracking, Universal Account Number (UAN) linking, and activation of legacy EPF accounts.

The initial phase of the implementation will be member Identification (ID)-based. The EPFO plans to later expand the scope of the portal to include members who are unable to recall or access their historical member IDs. It is to be noted that the organization settled 8.31 crore claims in the FY26, representing an increase from the 6.01 crore claims settled during FY25.
